I'll just sell them to Half Price Books or Amazon if that's the case.<br /><br />I also buy books if I love the author or if it's something that I'm dying to read.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131832400840619615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746441555766369349.post-19121589688539165312014-11-28T13:39:20.166-05:002014-11-28T13:39:20.166-05:00My main reason for buying books?

Second main reason is that it's from an author who I love (think Anne Elisabeth Stengl) and who I KNOW that WHATEVER the book is, it'll be awesome. Third main reason (and this one is pretty rare, though not entirely) is if everyone I know who's read the book says it's really good and I really want to read it but I don't think my library will get it in.Sarah Penningtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377945004067760298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746441555766369349.post-75953722118144872332014-11-28T13:14:13.362-05:002014-11-28T13:14:13.362-05:00I buy books for all the reasons you listed and if ...I buy books for all the reasons you listed and if it has a gorgeous cover. The only reason I picked up Shatter Me (the paperback) and The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer was because the cover caught my eye. From there I read the synopsis and it caught my interest enough that I just had to buy it.<br /><br />Alexandra @ <a href="http://sleepsontables.com" rel="nofollow">SleepsOnTables</a>Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355645965849061613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746441555766369349.post-54464732492686537662014-11-28T10:58:58.426-05:002014-11-28T10:58:58.426-05:00I have.

It hasn't gotten great reviews in the blogger community, and apparently there's a love triangle and a lot of drug use.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17561861156323120664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746441555766369349.post-55124132827597883542014-11-28T10:26:01.337-05:002014-11-28T10:26:01.337-05:00I usually buy books only when I really, really lov...I usually buy books only when I really, really loved it; or, if it's the next book in a series I love. I've never bought a book that I haven't/know absolutely nothing about...but I'm a little tempted right now, cause there's a Peter Pan retelling called Second Star and my library doesn't have it.
